The Newsie’s Shacket

Najib Benouar

This time of year, it’s not a bad idea to have an extra layer handy—as well as the morning paper.

And this new quilted overshirt that’s just landed in Context’s webshop (as part of the latest drop from the McNairy-helmed Woolrich Woolen Mills) has got you covered on both. This mid-weight “shacket” is right on time for the upcoming transition into the cooler season. The extra-large breast pocket is a nice touch—just the right size for a folded broadsheet or anything else that might not need to stay crisply tucked into a briefcase.

Plus, we hear everyone is going to be using newspaper as pocket squares this fall.
